Caroline's Story

Events and News

West Virginia middle school teachers learned about Panther Mountain and other WV books in August

ITQ Workshop, Glenville State College, August 2, 2016

It was my pleasure to give a presentation about Panther Mountain: Caroline’s Story at Glenville State College in early August. A group of West Virginia middle school teachers and local librarians attended as part of the Improving Teacher Quality Workshop, an annual continuing education opportunity for those who teach ELA, math and social studies.

14 copies of Panther Mountain: Caroline’s Story signed and sold at Barnes & Noble Local Author Showcase in June

What a great evening at Barnes and Noble Syracuse (Dewitt) on June 16th! Thanks to the friends who stopped by to say hi and have some books signed. Also thanks to Barnes and Noble Community Business Manager Nick Bennett and his staff for promoting and supporting all of us who took part in the Local Author Showcase event.

Panther Mountain: Caroline’s Story featured on Teen Talk CNY Radio

In March, I was very fortunate to be interviewed for the online radio program Teen Talk CNY. It’s a weekly web-based radio show by, for, and about teens, hosted by Central New York teens. The hosts asked some great questions about how Caroline’s story became a book, why I took the self-publishing route and how important extensive research was to the process of writing historical fiction.
